Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The Pancake Rocks is a popular tourist attraction at Dolomite Point south of the main village, consisting of a heavily eroded dolomite area where the sea bursts though a number of vertical blowholes during high tides.
